Good; Room was cute as described; the view from the balcony was amazing. I got to see the sunrise and sunset. Location was amazing in central to literally everything -free bikes and beach towels were key; beach chairs are also included but they are fold up ones that you carry on your back to the beach.… Which is decent, but I assumed beach chairs/loungers that are part of our resort fee were the ones that are on the beach already. I would personally pay more to have the convenience of not having to lug around a beach chair on a hot humid day when I’m just trying to chill. Staff was nice and helpful. Negatives: we could not hook up to the Wi-Fi the entire time, which would usually be OK cause I’m never on my phone, but it rained the entire weekend so we are kind of stuck inside. The only other thing is that the property online stated that they had a 24 hour gym facility, but when I asked about it, they said it was on we were construction and referred me over to muscle Beach outside and Lumus Park… but the reason I didn’t originally go there is because it was storming outside. Overall, I would stay there again if the price point is lower than the other ones around them on Ocean Drive..but Since there are literally a million little boutique hotels on Ocean Drive I’d probably try a different one next time because typically they are all around the same price.

It’s a nicely upgraded Art Deco property. The staff let it down by not cleaning the floor of my room. However, while I sent pictures and did gently complain, there was no recognition of the discomfort. Also if you are a single traveler and have luggage, the access is difficult and there is NO assistance provided

Very friendly staff. Welcoming lobby. Dining options abundant. Easy walk to the beach and restaurants and shops. Music plays loudly until wer hours and begins again around 8 if youre a light sleeper. Tiki Bar and Havana Restaurant are literally on steps of hotel with great food and drink optioms. The pool was not open for 2 of 4 day stay, 4 ft deep when did open amd only 8 chairs.Parrott poop in one end of pool. Can see Ocean Drive from pool. Nice breeze. Elevators for use and very secure. Beach chair and towels provided. Breakfast voucher provided, but must walk a block or two to eat. Versace mansion. Wet Willie's, The Clevelander all steps away. Thr best body wash and lotion from a hotel stay in a long time. The bed was very comfortable. Fridge came in handy, easy to catch Uber.

I was very disappointed that the pool was out of service for the entire weekend that we were there. It was one of the reasons that I booked this hotel. I was not happy that it was closed. It wasn't even closed for maintenance, it was closed so they could use the space to build the new lounge chairs. It was a disappointment. Other than that, the hotel was very good.

My 4 night experience at the hotel

The staff was good, the keys for the room never worked had to go back to the front desk several times to get the cards re-programmed, there's no hot or warm water in the shower, the toilet kept making sounds of filing water.
